I would need to see Sale Agreement & other docs, but this is in my strike zone.

I have 32 years experience in business litigation , including sales of restaurants & bars

Hello. With no hesitation, I urge you to seek private attorney counsel. Since you stated you are repesented by an attorney, another attorney may provide a second opinion to you. It would be imprudent for you to seek that second opinion from any attorney who has any sort of affiliation with your present attorney, including casual friendship. Since you express having a sense of uneasiness with your own attorney, you ought to act with no delay whatsoever in seeking outside legal advice. In my many years of professional experience, providing an outside second opinion to someone with a complex legal issue is not at all uncommon. No attorney is permitted to solicit clients from this site nor to discuss fees. All the best.

1. No- they had opportunity to review financials prior to sale

2. That may be kept out via a Motion in Limine

3.No-- a settlement would bar that

4.Yes- call or email me

5. May be able to structure hybrid flat fee/ hourly fee agreement

Depending on how case is postured

1. Can they claim misrepresentation of the numbers if they went away from my business model that was working for me? They have failed and are looking for a way out of the contract.

The can certainly make the claim However, they must have something besides pure speculation to base it on.

2. Should I be concerned about my past playing a role in any decision the jury or judge may make?

I cannot see how it is relevant to the case. It is likely it could be excluded at any trial by filing a Motion in Limine.

3. If I accept the offer from them to be done with all of this, can I then go after the new tenant to retreive the equipment that is filed under the UCC?

No. Any settlement would include a full release of all claims.

4. Is there anyone out there that can help with this matter?

Yes. An experienced litigator can certainly assist. You can reach me at 612.240.8005.

5. What would the payment structure/retainer for someone to represent me in this matter with knowledge of business contracts be?

The answer depends on a fll review of the case, its intricacies, the agreements signed and the allegations made.
